Hey guys,

Thanks for having me on this forum. I am new in the world of composites and want to test an idea with you experts I have been walking with for quite some time.

In the outdoor world everybody is wanting to go lighter and lighter. I wonder if I can make a simple pot for cooking water. Boiling temperature of water is of course 100C and given the thin layer of CF and the conductive properties of CF I would think the pot outside surface will not get any hotter than 100C. I read that CF can take pretty much any temperature and that the limiting factor would be the resin. However a temperature resistant resin could do the trick? 

I am curious on your thoughts on my idea. But please, if you want to react, please give me some proper feedback. Thanks!

PS: I am not a native English speaker so please excuse me for any spelling errors.

Marcel

I like your way of thinking! but there is one thing I wouldnt really like is to cook water in a carbonfiber pot with epoxy resin where I would eat out...
think about how carbonfiber parts are made: with chemical resistant masks, gloves,... I'm sure you could find some foodgrade epoxy and so on but I think there
are better alternatives than carbonfiber
